Bash aliases notes

Bash aliases are command shortcuts.

Create bash aliases

Ubuntu Linux
Windows Subsystem for Linux

cd ~
touch .bash_aliases
chmod 644 .bash_aliases

Note: On Linux, do not create .bash_profile because it will ignore .profile.

Edit bash profile

Mac - edit .bash_profile
Git Bash for Windows - edit .bash_profile

Some of my bash aliases
